I have been around this hobby my entire life. One of the earliest things that I can remember is sitting on my Dads work bench poking holes in his kaos. I got a spanking. Now that I think about it, most of my early spankings were R/C related.
To me this is more that a hobby. It is away of life! My wife, well she dose not quite get it, but she sees how much I enjoy it and leaves me be.
Unfortunately the thrill of the first hook is lost on me. I do however love the look I get from a grown man of 55 when I first get him on the buddy box. He looks and feels like a kid again.
I'm 32 now and still flying every chance I get. I try to get almost every person that I meet out to the field so that I can share this wonderful Hobby. Some think I waist my money, Others are flying more than me now!
